Kevin Durant may have just offered further proof that perseverance really does pay off.

Durant is rumored to be dating LeToya Luckett, who is an original member of the R&B group Destiny’s Child, after months of pursuing the singer/actress.

The rumored couple has been spotted out on the town together, and they’ve even been bagged liking each other’s Instagram photos (uh oh!). Throw in a Facebook poke or a creepy late-night inbox, and we’ll really have confirmation that things are popping off between these two.

If Durant and Luckett are dating, which appears to be the case, it’ll mark the second big name athlete Luckett has been linked to. She, of course, dated Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp, who, come on, is a stud in his own right.

There’s a bit of an age difference between Durant and Luckett, though, as Durant is about eight years younger than Beyonce’s former sidekick. But hey, she’s still got it going on, so why not?

Check out the new couple enjoying a nice evening out in the rapidly spreading photo below. Then peep some photos of Luckett while you’re at it.
